Siddha, Suresh B authored
Force irq migration path during cpu offline, is not using proper locks and irq_chip mask/unmask routines. This will result in some races(especially the device generating the interrupt can see some inconsistent state, resulting in issues like stuck irq,..). Appended patch fixes the issue by taking proper lock and encapsulating irq_chip set_affinity() with a mask() before and an unmask() after. This fixes a MSI irq stuck issue reported by Darrick Wong. There are several more general bugs in this area(irq migration in the process context). For example, 1. Possibility of missing edge triggered irq. 2. Reliable method of migrating level triggered irq in the process context. We plan to look and close these in the near future. Eric says: In addition even with the fix from Suresh there is still at least one nasty hardware race in fixup_irqs(). However we exercise that code path rarely enough that we are unlikely to hit it in the real world, and that race seems to have existed since the code was merged. And a fix for that is not coming soon as it is an open investigation area if we can fix irq migration to work outside of irq context or if we have to rework the requirements imposed by the generic cpu hotplug and layer on fixup_irqs(). So this may come up again. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Eric W.

usb_unlink_urb() is asynchronous, therefore an URB's buffer may not be freed without waiting for the completion handler. This patch switches to usb_kill_urb(), which is synchronous.

usblcd currently has no way to limit memory consumption by fast writers. This is a security problem, as it allows users with write access to this device to drive the system into oom despite resource limits. Here's the fix taken from the modern skeleton driver.

This fixes a bug which can cause corruption of the floating-point state on return from a signal handler. If we have a signal handler that has used the floating-point registers, and it happens to context-switch to another task while copying the interrupted floating-point state from the user stack into the thread struct (e.g. because of a page fault, or because it gets preempted), the context switch code will think that the FP registers contain valid FP state that needs to be copied into the thread_struct, and will thus overwrite the values that the signal return code has put into the thread_struct. This can occur because we clear the MSR bits that indicate the presence of valid FP state after copying the state into the thread_struct. To fix this we just move the clearing of the MSR bits to before the copy. A similar potential problem also occurs with the Altivec state, and this fixes that in the same way.

Consider the prototype for gettimeofday(): int gettimofday(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz); Although it is valid to call with /either/ tv or tz being NULL, and the C version of sys_gettimeofday() supports this, the current version of gettimeofday() in the VDSO will SEGV if called with a NULL tv. This adds a check for tv being NULL so that it doesn't SEGV.

Register %ebx serves as the "global offset table base register" for position-independent code. For absolute code, %ebx serves as a local register and has no specified role in the function calling sequence. In either case, a function must preserve the register value for the caller. acpi_copy_wakeup_routine overrides %ebx without saving it, this may corrupt the called data. Kevin found that most time the value of Sx is saved in %esi, however sometimes compiler also uses %ebx. When this happens, suspends fails since sleep value in ebx is changed by acpi_copy_wakeup_routine. The same funtion in X86_64 doesn't have this problem.
